The rate at which people and organisations learn and apply new technologies usually lies far behind the actual pace of development. Many companies in our industry use toolholders, insert grades, geometries, and machining techniques that have been superseded.
The result - an increase in the so called "technology gap" which has a detrimental effect on a company's ability to compete, with productivity often falling well behind that which is possible.
The Seco Technical Education Program (STEP) is a well developed and practical program designed to familiarise users with the latest tooling systems and techniques. STEP enables companies to combat the "technology gap" and achieve maximum machining productivity.
STEP is designed to keep our customers in touch with a rapidly changing industry. Without an in-depth understanding of new technologies in the market, many customers find the decision making process more and more difficult as the range of tooling available expands.
Who should participate in the STEP program?
Courses are designed to cover customer specific requirements, so that machine operators, manufacturing engineers, programmers, and company owners can begin to understand the simplest way to choose the correct tooling and machining strategy.
What information does STEP contain?
STEP is currently made up of twenty modules, split between STEP 1 & STEP 2. STEP 1 modules provide an introduction to tooling and machining technology and STEP 2 modules look at more advanced machining techniques and tooling systems.
